Does anyone have a customer that uses MacIntosh Operating System 10.4 that can print with the newest version of the Postscript driver? My customer wants actual proof that the driver will work on 10.4. Ricoh has told him that it will work with version 10.X, but you know some people want proof that it will work with a specific version. Any help? Please email to roof@abconceptsinc.com
Thanks in advance.

John,
For basic printing you can use the HP 4L cups driver. Mac OS 10 runs on Darwin which is unix. The cups drivers work great for basic printing. If you need duplexing then you would have to add PS option. The only reason PS is need is because Ricoh does not write a Cups driver for the machines. I have 3 offices I use the 1515MF's in and none have the PS option and I normally print to them using my G4 Power Book and have never had an issue using the cups driver except no duplexing. Let me know if I can help.

Cool. When I said it might not work, I was speaking in general. a 10.x driver THEORETICALLY will work on any version of OSX (Mac OS 10), but some theoretical version of OSX might "break" it.

When a driver says 10.x that's good, but it's better if it says 10.1, .2, .3 and .4 because that usually means it has been verified to work on those specific versions.

Thanks for the information about CUPS, I knew both those pieces of information, but hadn't put 2 and 2 together to the conclusion that it meant our devices would print (without device specific features). Thanks.
